“I have been falling for 30 minutes!” I am proud to announce that this animated gif I hand drew was selected as a finalist by #talenthouse and may be used for the home release campaign for #thorragnarok!
I just imagined what #loki was doing when #drstrange teleported him away in the movie.
This was my first real attempt at #animation and it was a lot of fun (and work)...I will definitely do more, I learned so much.

My pick for #bestpicture at the #oscars. This is another comic from my #5for5 comic series, where I take a movie I really like and try to tell the story in 5 panels.
@realgdt I have so much respect for this man. Good luck!

Mgmt is back! I’ve been obsessively listening to their new album #littledarkage. I like the new #gothic #victorian thing they’re playing with.

I get asked a lot how I draw digitally so I thought it’d be fun to give you all a little look behind the curtain so to speak (and plus the multiple picture swipe thing on Instagram is my new favorite thing after like a year of trying to figure it out). This is a quick pin up of #snotgirl by #bryanleeomalley and @dairyfree and @imagecomics I can’t wait for the new issue next month!

My favorite album of 2017 was #antisocialites by @alvvaysband
I felt compelled to draw them like old #hannabarbera cartoon characters. They just have that look...maybe it’s because they’re #canadian ?

Wow, I’ve been blown away by the response to this series of comics I drew that I call #5for5comics. Basically I’ll take a movie and try to depict it in 5 comic panels. The first one I did was for the movie #getout.
I love this movie! Such a powerful message and genuinely disturbing.
I’ll post the other 5for5 comics soon.

Jupiter Jet #1 takes flight today officially! If you like jet packs then you’ll love this comic (who doesn’t like jet packs?!) Check it out at your local comic book shop or on @comixology for a digital copy.
Shout out to the incredible @ashleyvrobinson @jawiin @marajayne @taylorespo25 you guys are the best!

Just ride the barrel and get pitted, so pitted... Still one of my favorite viral vids, had to pay my respects. #getpitted #sopitted #gooddayla

I still find myself going back to this band. Brand New is still one of my all time favorite bands and Jesse Lacey is a legend. Sucks that they're disbanding, but we never deserved them in the first place! #blessed

I had a dream about @badgirlriri_ last night. I won't go into details. But I felt compelled to draw this quick sketch this morning.
